Cons: None
Great value for the money
This is the third Murphy knife I have purchased from KCI and I have to say I am never disappointed with either the service or the product. Primarily I wanted an affordable knife for woods roaming, something with a heavy enough blade and not to long but yet not too short. Living in an area where every few years a young cougar tends to pass through also made me think of something for minimal safety. This fills the bill and didn't break the bank. The blade was sharp out of the box and the handle a good fit with the wood -I believe Rosewood- varnished. I would have preferred an oiled handle but since this was intended for fishing I am thinking they used a spar varnish. The sheath for the price point is awesome. Buttery smooth leather with no snap for a quicker draw. Honestly,the only drawbacks for me is that I would have preferred a 5 inch blade and a slightly larger cut on the sheath for the belt. Otherwise, this is a perfect knife.
